Yashica Auto Focus Motor!
The Yashica Auto Focus Motor (also known as the Yashica 5-Star Auto Focus Motor) is a compact viewfinder camera with autofocus introduced by Yashica in 1981. The Auto features a 38mm f/2.8 lens mated to an electronically controlled shutter capable of speeds ranging from 1/8 to 1/500 seconds.
By the shutter button on the top plate is a frame counter and a blue shutter lock switch which can be used to prevent unintentional shutter actuation when not in use. On the other side of the top plate is an integrated flash unit which can be activated by pressing down where it says “PUSH” with a flash-ready indicator light behind it. The Auto’s autofocus system is initiated by simply pressing the shutter button which prompts the the camera to adjust focus on whatever is in the center of the frame before tripping the shutter. There is also a yellow focus lock button located near the lens that can be used to hold focus on the subject even if you don’t want it dead centre. Surrounding the front element of the lens is a knurled plastic ring that is used to select the film speed and next to the lens is an icon-based focus distance indicator with a red self-timer light directly above it which can be activated by pulling the self timer lever on the other side.
